Great record! As said below, the dynamics are great and the bass completely shoots out of my speakers. It's the Black Keys at their best. It's colored transparent with a light blob in the middle, so it isn't a completely silent pressing. It doesn't really matter when the music starts because it's so loud

Pretty poor packaging for this one. Thin and cheap. There is no real inner liner for the record, it just comes in a weak card inner with the credits on it which started to tear in my hand while struggling to get the record out of it.

When I got the record out it was covered in white cardboard debris which was pretty embedded in the grooves and wouldn't come out without easily with a brush. Just an unimpressive package all around.

Sound quality seemed adequate on mine but that's it. Shame because I love the album.

Their second album is more of the same, highly amplified, raw, grungy sounding, fairly earnest blues. I like it but one of the challenges of a double act like this is that there is a danger that it can all sound a bit the same after a while. They've overdubbed bass on some tracks and it works well, making me wonder if they would have been better going for a trio instead. Nothing really special on here, "Midnight in Her Eyes" and "I Cry Alone" are probably my favourites, but still a good example of 21st century rock blues, and apparently it was all done in a day, respect.
